We formulate and solve a regression problem with time-stamped distributional data. Distributions are considered as points in the Wasserstein space of probability measures, metrized by the 2-Wasserstein metric, and may represent images, power spectra, point clouds of particles, and so on. The regression seeks a curve in the Wasserstein space that passes closest to the dataset. Our regression problem allows utilizing general curves in a Euclidean setting (linear, quadratic, sinusoidal, and so on), lifted to corresponding measure-valued curves in the Wasserstein space. It can be cast as a multi-marginal optimal transport problem that allows efficient computation. Illustrative academic examples are presented.

We study multi-marginal optimal transport, a generalization of optimal transport that allows us to define discrepancies between multiple measures. It provides a framework to solve multi-task learning problems and to perform barycentric averaging. How
ever, multi-marginal distances between multiple measures are typically challenging to compute because they require estimating a transport plan with $N^P$ variables. In this paper, we address this issue in the following way: 1) we efficiently solve the one-dimensional multi-marginal Monge-Wasserstein problem for a classical cost function in closed form, and 2) we propose a higher-dimensional multi-marginal discrepancy via slicing and study its generalized metric properties. We show that computing the sliced multi-marginal discrepancy is massively scalable for a large number of probability measures with support as large as $10^7$ samples. Our approach can be applied to solving problems such as barycentric averaging, multi-task density estimation and multi-task reinforcement learning.
Reducing global carbon emissions will require diverse industrial sectors to use energy more efficiently, electrify, and operate intermittently. The water sector is a transformation target, but we lack energy quantification tools to guide operational,
infrastructure, and policy interventions in complex water sourcing, treatment, and distribution networks. The marginal energy intensity (MEI) of water supply quantifies the location-specific, instantaneous embedded energy in water delivered to consumers. We describe the first MEI algorithm and elucidate the sensitivity of MEI to generalizable water system features. When incorporated in multi-objective operational and planning models, MEI will dramatically increase the energy co-benefits of water efficiency, conservation, and retrofit programs; maximize energy flexibility services that water systems can deliver to the grid; and facilitate full cost recovery in distribution system operation.
Recent years have seen an increased interest in using mean-field density based modelling and control strategy for deploying robotic swarms. In this paper, we study how to dynamically deploy the robots subject to their physical constraints to efficien
tly measure and reconstruct certain unknown spatial field (e.g. the air pollution index over a city). Specifically, the evolution of the robots density is modelled by mean-field partial differential equations (PDEs) which are uniquely determined by the robots individual dynamics. Bayesian regression models are used to obtain predictions and return a variance function that represents the confidence of the prediction. We formulate a PDE constrained optimization problem based on this variance function to dynamically generate a reference density signal which guides the robots to uncertain areas to collect new data, and design mean-field feedback-based control laws such that the robots density converges to this reference signal. We also show that the proposed feedback law is robust to density estimation errors in the sense of input-to-state stability. Simulations are included to verify the effectiveness of the algorithms.
Determining contingency aware dispatch decisions by solving a security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) is challenging for real-world power systems, as the high problem dimensionality often leads to impractical computational requirements. This
problem becomes more severe when the SCOPF has to be solved not only for a single instance, but for multiple periods, e.g. in the context of electricity market analyses. This paper proposes an algorithm that identifies the minimal set of constraints that exactly define the space of feasible nodal injections for a given network and contingency scenarios. By internalizing the technical limits of the nodal injections and enforcing a minimal worst-case impact of contingencies to line flows, computational effort can be further improved. The case study applies and analyzes the methods on the IEEE 118 and A&M 2000 bus systems, as well as the German and European transmission systems. In all tested cases the proposed algorithm identifies at least 95% of the network and security constraints as redundant, leading to significant SCOPF solve time reductions. Scalability and practical implementation are explicitly discussed. The code and input data of the case study is published supplementary to the paper under an open-source license.
This paper investigates an optimal consensus problem for a group of uncertain linear multi-agent systems. All agents are allowed to possess parametric uncertainties that range over an arbitrarily large compact set. The goal is to collectively minimiz
e a sum of local costs in a distributed fashion and finally achieve an output consensus on this optimal point using only output information of agents. By adding an optimal signal generator to generate the global optimal point, we convert this problem to several decentralized robust tracking problems. Output feedback integral control is constructively given to achieve an optimal consensus under a mild graph connectivity condition. The efficacy of this control is verified by a numerical example.
